- Sketch to Pose in Pixar’s Presto Animation System

Abstract:
Animation rigs for key frame animation typically offer guides for direct manipulation of a model. For example, elbow rotation is conveniently specified by dragging a rotational ring guide. However, these simple guides can be cumbersome and time-consuming to use when posing structures involving multiple joints, such as a prehensile long neck or tail. In this work, we present a convenient interface to pose multiple joints at once by snapping them to a user-drawn stroke.
